       Good Friday... well for us non-catholics, this day is just an ordinary day. It's just that stores and malls are closed and there's no where else to go except stay inside the house.

                           Nevertheless... we do respect that it has been a part of our nation's heritage. We do not have anything against this celebration, in fact, i even appreciate the people who preserve this momentous tradition.

                                     In our baranggay...kids wait for this very iconic character, "HUDAS". They wait for his arrival, then they run away from him. He really is creepy, it's as if he's the real "judas". Some kids even cry when he approaches them, and even some women run away from him... well, it just makes me laugh.
